Drush is a command line and scripting interface to Drupal and has a growing community of modules that allow you to rapidly provision, maintain and develop Drupal sites. Drush takes a many-step task and replaces it with a single command - e.g. "drush pm update" will find the latest stable versions of each site module from the Drupal.org, propose any updates, back up the old versions, download the new versions and unpack.
